I just wanna know how you're holding each axle plus turning the pinion???

Do you have the elusive 3rd arm/hand from the center of your chest??

I've heard that I really needed to get me one and I agree (in concept) that it would be very handy at times!

Nope, no 3rd arm but i have a handy tail....

Actually, this is a tubbed '69 camaro. The pinion is only a couple feet from the axle flange. That also explains my consternation about the rear - who would have a tubbed bigblock, 4speed car with monster tires and a single-track rear? It isn't what i expected for sure.

My first thought as I read it, too. Might consider an Eaton/Detroit TruTrac - they're the closest thing to a locker that remains very friendly on the street, very strong, and no clutches to wear out. http://www.eaton.com/Eaton/ProductsS...als/PCT_221471
